Sultanate of Oman - Weather Update | Thick thunderclouds over the Sea of Oman affect the coasts of Muscat and South Al Sharqiyah

Arab Weather - Weather specialists at the Arab Weather Center are following the latest satellite images received a short while ago, which monitored thick thunderclouds over the Sea of Oman extending horizontally in the upper levels of the atmosphere. They are the result of the availability of thermal convection and humidity, which strengthened the ascending air currents.

According to the same images, it can be inferred that the clouds are accompanied by heavy rain, and their edges touch the coasts of southern Muscat and the coasts of southeastern Oman overlooking the Sea of Oman, causing thunderstorms of varying intensity in these areas, which requires taking caution and being careful of the formation of local floods in some low-lying areas.

As for the rest of the governorates, clouds continue to move at different heights, interspersed with cumulonimbus clouds, especially on the southeastern coasts overlooking the Arabian Sea, and accompanied by showers of rain that may sometimes be heavy thunderstorms.

God knows best.
